Carlton has made two changes for Sunday’s match against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium. Simon White will miss with a hamstring injury while Zach Tuohy has been omitted from the side that was far too good for Richmond in round 15.
Nick Duigan returns to the team after missing two weeks with a calf injury and Paul Bower returns to the team after playing the last three matches for the Northern Bullants in the VFL.
Bower’s has played just one AFL match this season, in round 12 against Brisbane at Etihad Stadium. His season has been interrupted by injuries but importantly Sunday’s match will be his seventh consecutive game, giving him continuity in his training and playing. His missed the first three matches of the year through injury and then missed another four matches with injury before resuming in round 10 with the Northern Bullants.
Carlton will have a final training session at Visy Park on Saturday morning at 9:30 in preparation for Sunday’s away game against the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium at 4:40pm. The match will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 1.
